About David Chong
David Chong is not just a professional photographer; he is the visionary founder and director of www.PerthPhotography.com and www.PerthPortraitPhotography.com. Operating from the vibrant city of Perth in Western Australia, he has not only captured moments through his lens but has also become a prominent figure in the photography community, serving as a business coach for aspiring photographers.
With a successful photography business spanning over 18 years, David has been a guiding force for numerous assistants and students, helping them turn their passion for photography into a sustainable livelihood. His expertise now extends to strategic photography coaching and consultation, aimed at individuals looking to make a living from photography or elevate their existing skills.
David's journey into photography was a deliberate shift from a corporate background. Armed with a degree in Marketing from the University of Western Australia, he spent three years in the corporate world before taking the plunge to pursue his dream of becoming a photographer. His transition took approximately a year, during which he grew his photography business and began living the dream he envisioned.
Throughout his career, David has not only achieved personal success but has also recognized a gap in the education provided by mainstream photography institutions and colleges. He observed that many aspiring photographers were ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of the industry, leading to numerous failures and unfulfilled dreams.
Motivated by these insights, David decided to bridge the gap by developing a tailored training and coaching program. Drawing from his extensive experience in the industry, he created a program designed to equip students with the essential skills, knowledge, and mindset needed for long-term success in photography.
The program David offers spans a duration of 4 weeks to 6 months, providing a comprehensive guide to setting up a new photography business. It encompasses psychological focus, business establishment, resource maximization, technical development, customized business strategies, marketing planning, as well as coaching and mentoring. Importantly, these sessions can be conducted face-to-face or online through one-on-one interactions with David, utilizing an exclusive online system proprietary to his courses.
For those seeking evidence of the program's success, the website offers a case study link featuring samples of past students' experiences and achievements. David Chong's commitment to nurturing the next generation of photographers goes beyond capturing moments – it involves empowering individuals to turn their passion into a thriving and enduring career in the dynamic world of photography.
